Mike Zito was born and raised in south Saint Louis, Mo.
Mike began singing at a very young age - and picked up guitar in high school. The gritty sounds of the south side focused on blues and rock.
Mike got a job at a guitar shop out of high school and worked there while earning his way into the music scene. Everyone from Chuck Berry to Bennie Smith were regulars in that store. Zito soaked up the sounds of that store and put it into his guitar playing.
Zito put out his first independent release in 1997 titled “Blue Room”.
Played every club in the mid west possible and traveled overseas for the USO.
Mike’s sophomore release was “America’s Most Wanted”.
Songwriting began to come out on the second release.
At this time – Mike was playing a regular dose of 6 nights a week in and around Saint Louis. He sank into the scene with alcohol and drugs. They took there toll on his abilities and addiction set in. Zito drifted around the country for awhile lost and confused. He ended up in southeast Texas. Mike fell in love with his now wife and cleaned up. “Slow it down” was released in 2004. Mike formed a stellar band and began again playing full time – all over the country. In 2005 – Mike and his band played over 250 shows.
Now in 2006 – Mike Zito releases his best work to date “Superman”
